Clinical Trial Summary

This study aims to assess if/how dietary interventions (i.e., the Modified Atkins Diet (MAD) and/or the Mediterranean-Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) Intervention for Neurodegenerative Delay (MIND)) might prevent, delay onset, alleviate symptoms, or otherwise alter the course of subjective cognitive decline (SCD) likely due to Alzheimer's disease (AD).

We hypothesize that participants will tolerate both diets well and that the MAD will result in more favorable changes in cognition and other functioning.


Clinical Trial Description

Specific aims are to 1) to establish the feasibility of implementing the MAD in older adults with subjective cognitive decline (SCD) likely due to AD, 2) to examine whether changes in participants' cognition, mood, or other functioning are more favorable in patients using the MAD than in patients using the MIND diet, 3) to assess the role of Apolipoprotein E (ApoE) epsilon 4 genotype in response to the MAD in individuals with SCD. We hypothesize that 1) participants will be able to adhere to and tolerate the MAD and the MIND, determined by review of patients' food records and urine ketone production, 2) participants who adhere to the MAD will demonstrate a more favorable change on neuropsychological tests than participants on the MIND diet, and 4) the neuropsychological effects of the MAD will be greatest in those participants without a ε4 allele of the ApoE gene. ;
